REUNITED and it TASTES so good!

Current mood: cheerful

first of all, i’d like to say thanks to everyone for leaving their comments, writing me messages and suggestions during my whole “tea tragedy”. not only were they a joy to read, but they were also inspiring. it gave me hope. it gave me strength. i began to believe that somewhere out there, whether it be from an old warehouse in a neighboring state, a small cafe in a distant country, or even on ebay, “Borders Chai” still exists and is still very much alive; being sought after by many around the world, and not just by me. 

as most of you may know, The Symphonies just took a trip out to California, not only to play a show, but to hang out. Me, Gavin, Pete, and Chris got in some good chill time on the west coast (ohh ooh whoa!). sorry..haha. had to do it. 

but anyway, we got to spend a day hanging out in san francisco, watch pete devour an 8x8 from In-n-Out Burger (yes, that’s 8 patties and 8 slices of cheese), rock the hell out of “The Blank Club” in downtown San Jose, and of course, go to the beach. it was truly a blast. but almost more importantly, it gave me the chance to search various borders locations in northern california for my beloved borders chai. 

it was tough, but thanks to everyone’s help…alas, i have emerged victorious:

that’s right. i have successfully smuggled 8 pounds of california-purchased Borders Chai mix to Boston. 

and i am one happy camper. 

special thanks to meg and jasmine for their extensive research, and extra special thanks to amy for “the list”. i tip my borders chai-filled tea mug to you all. :) 

stay tuned for a short “video diary” documenting our trip to california..edited and done up by none other than our very own Gavin! till next time..
